Kyle’s European Adventure

Well, I’m starting day three here in Berlin, and things are just starting to settle in. I’ve managed to line up some apartments to look at (two of them today), find a language school, and get a European SIM card.

Well, the cruise is done. My family managed to get off the boat and make it to the airport in one piece. I put the rest of the crew on their flight to Boston, and now I have 5 hours to kill before I finally fly to Berlin!  I loved being on the boat – [...]

After a highly eventful second day in Hohenschwangau that involved mountain bikes, unchecked border crossings, horses, cows, slides, one castle, a monastary and a spectacular lightning storm – it was time to leave the land of the fairytale castles. The kids (everyone but my parents) decided to take an early morning dip in the alp [...]

Well, after our jeglagged day in Munich, we all got about 12 hours of sleep. Once we all felt human again, we made our way to the train station and caught the early train to Füssen, the mountain town at the base of the Alps. We were off to see the castles of the Bavarian [...]
